A relaxor electroceramic [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text]–0.30-[Formula: see text] (PMN–PLT–BLT) with [Formula: see text] = 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75 was synthesized using the two combination methods of auto-combination and hot-pressing. Characterization of the crystal phase, microstructure, optical and dielectric properties of PMN–PLT–BLT was made primarily by X-ray diffraction and TEM and SEM methods. The pure perovskite crystals (rhombohedral and tetragonal) prepared at [Formula: see text] for 2 h calcination were revealed by using X-ray diffraction. The average optical transmittance of these electroceramics in the range between 450 nm and 900 nm is higher than 60% while in the IR region reached 100%. The PMN–PLT–BLT with [Formula: see text] = 0.75 displays the highest transparency around 70% near 1100 nm. The microstructures and dielectric measurements show that these three electroceramics have densities of about 98.8% and exhibit a normal relaxation characteristic.

Single crystals of 2-Aminothiazole 3,5-Dinitrobenzoic acid has been synthesized and good quality optical crystals were grown by slow evaporation technique at room temperature. The crystallinity nature of the grown crystal was confirmed from X-ray diffraction technique. An optical transmittance study was also carried out by UV – Vis spectra. FTIR spectra confirm the presence of functional groups in the grown crystal. The dielectric measurements were carried out in the range of 50Hz to 2MHz. The dielectric constant was seen to increase exponentially at lower frequencies. The microhardness studies were carried out using Vickers hardness indenter. Photoluminescence study shows that maximum emission occurs at 435nm.

Lead free Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 (NBT) and (Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3)1-x(CaTiO3)x (NBT-CT) piezoelectric ceramics with the perovskite structure were studied. The NBT and NBT-CT samples were synthesized using a solid-state reaction method and characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy and dielectric measurements for several compositions (x = 0, 0.07, 0.15) at room temperature. The XRD analysis showed a stabilization of a rhombohedral phase at a low concentration of Ca (0 < x <0.15), whereas Raman spectra reveal a strong modification for the sample with x = 0.15. The dielectric properties of these ceramics were studied by measuring impedance in the 79-451K temperature range for unpoled and field cooling with an electric field (FC) conditions.

The effect of milling time and sintering process on the dielectric properties of BaTiO3-based X9R ceramics was investigated. The characterization of the raw powders and the sintered ceramic was carried out by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The particle size distribution of the mixed powders was examined by Laser Particle Size Analyzer. The results shown that with the milling time extended, the Cruie Peak was depressed, or even disappeared. Moreover, with the rise of sintering temperature, the dielectric constant of the ceramics increased and the dielectric loss decreased gradually. Eventually, by milling for 11h and sintering at 1090°Cfor 2h, good dielectric properties were obtained, which were ε25°C≥ 2526, εr/εr25°C≤± 12% (–55~200°C), tanδ≤1.12% (25°C).

Recently, researchers have shown great interest in improving the thermal, mechanical, dielectric, and microwave properties of pure polymers through the use of polymer-based composites. The essential properties of polymer-based composites can be modified by varying the amount of Zn/Al-NO3layered double hydroxide (LDH) added to polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Therefore, by determining the optimal ratio of LDH in the PVC matrix, the dielectric properties of PVC-LDH composites can be improved. An LDH was prepared using the coprecipitation method, while PVC-LDH composites were prepared using tetrahydrofuran (THF) as the solvent. The composites were characterised using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and room temperature dielectric measurements were investigated using an RF Impedance/Material Analyzer (Agilent 4291). The results confirmed that the prepared composites were pure. Additionally, the presence of LDH in the PVC matrix was verified. The dielectric measurements showed that an increase in the LDH concentration leads to an increase in the dielectric constant and the dielectric loss factor. When used as dielectric filler in the PVC matrix, the LDH improved the dielectric properties of the fabricated composites. The results indicate that these composites show great potential for use as microwave absorbers at low microwave frequencies.

Dielectric properties and the phase compositions of (1−x)Pb(Ni1/3Nb2/3)O3−xPbTiO3 ceramics were investigated. A morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) in the system between pseudocubic and tetragonal phase regions has been identified to lie in the composition range x = 0.34–0.38 by means of x-ray diffraction and dielectric measurements. The samples of composition lying near the MPB have good dielectric properties, but at the same time, exhibit two dielectric peaks. The possible reasons for the occurrence of dielectric bipeaks are discussed. One dielectric peak is phase transition peak, and the other peak lying in 130–150 °C temperature range is suggested to result from structure defects in the ceramics.

Cd1-xZnxSthin films have been prepared by the vacuum coevaporation method. The structural, compositional, and optical properties ofCd1-xZnxSthin films have been investigated using X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence, and optical transmittance spectra. As-depositedCd1-xZnxSthin films are polycrystalline and show the cubic structure forx=1and hexagonal one forx<1with the highly preferential orientation. The composition ofCd1-xZnxSthin films determined from Vegard's law and quartz thickness monitors agrees with that determined from the X-ray fluorescence spectra. Optical absorption edge of optical transmittance forCd1-xZnxSthin films shows a blue shift with the increase of the zinc content. The band gap forCd1-xZnxSthin films can be tuned nonlinearly withxfrom about 2.38 eV for CdS to 3.74 eV for ZnS. A novel structure for CuInS2-based solar cells with aCd0.4Zn0.6Slayer is proposed in this paper.

Perovskite solid solution ceramics of PZN–PT–BT with several compositions were synthesized by solid-state reaction method. X-ray diffraction results indicate pure perovskite structures for all samples. Dielectric measurements show that the implicit Ba(Zn[Formula: see text]Nb[Formula: see text])O3(BZN) composition could broaden the diffusion phase transition (DPT) peaks and lower the [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] values. The observed dielectric properties may be caused by the increased cation disorder due to the substitution of barium onto the A-site and titanium onto the B-site.

Transition metal oxide-doped CCTO (CaCu3Ti4O12) ceramics were prepared by a conventional solgel synthesis method and the effects of pure CCTO and CCTO doped with Mn, Fe, Co, Ni to the crystal structure, microstructures and dielectrical properties of samples were investigated. The phase composition and microstructure were studied by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The XRD analysis reveals that all samples exhibited multiphases with the pseudo-perovskite cubic CCTO phase with space group Im-3 as the main phase in undoped and doped CCTO samples. Peaks of monoclinic CuO and peroveskite CaTiO3 could also be seen in all samples which indicate that solid solution of CuO in CaTiO3 lattice was incomplete.SEM results show that doping effectively enhanced densification. SEM micrographs also suggested that the morphologies of doped CCTO ceramics had showed a matrix consisting of large grains wherein the small grains were embedded between the larger grains. Dielectric properties of pure and doped CCTO were investigated in a broad frequency range of the dielectric constant reached a value as high as εr = 29.4 at room temperature for CCTO doped with Ni at frequency (1000 Hz). Besides the sintering conditions, the microstructure and the dielectric properties of the CCTO are strongly influenced by type of doping elements.

In this research, Barium titanate (BT) additive in lanthanum modified lead zirconate titanate (PLZT) was used to stabilize the PLZT ceramics. Oxide powders were synthesized by mixed oxide synthetic route via a rapid vibro-milling technique. It was prepared with the chemical formula of 0.95 Pb0.91La0.09 (Zr0.65Ti0.35)0.9775O3 -0.05 BaTiO3 to investigate the dielectric properties of PLZT ceramics. The modified PLZT ceramics were fabricated at variation of sintering temperatures of 1200-1275°C for 4 hours. By employing X-ray diffraction (XRD), it was found a pure perovskite with rhombohedral structure. The relaxor behavior was observed from the dielectric measurements. The suitable sintering temperature of 0.95 PLZT - 0.05 BT was 1275°C (εr=10463, tanδ=0.0125 and Tm=70°C).
